I  have a busy career as a gardening author, lecturer and speaker. For details of my books and articles, please go to writing. To buy books, please click here. For all those who have been requesting this, I hope shortly to start work on a book about garden design.

Besides teaching garden design at Warwickshire College, I run an annual series of courses at Lamport Hall (www.lamporthall.co.uk). This year, I'll also be running weekend day courses at Farncombe Estate (www.FarncombeEstate.co.uk).

I can also put on bespoke one-off courses at Lamport for interested groups – depending on the size of the group, this can be a half-day or summer evening visit to include talk, garden tour, question and answer session with light refreshments or a bespoke full-day course with lunch. See the courses page for further details. We welcome overseas visitors - French speakers, please go to the français page, German speakers to the deutsch page.

I also lecture and give demos to gardening clubs and other groups.

I can also offer design advice, create planting plans and give mentoring to designers who are just entering the profession.




‘After many years of being an armchair gardener, Andrew’s energy and vision have stirred me to take action. His knowledge and passion for what he does is an inspiration... I highly recommend talking to him if you want guidance in any aspect of garden planning and design. And if you get the opportunity to participate in one of his highly informative and enjoyable courses, do not hesitate.’     Jacky Pratt


‘Andrew organised a most enjoyable and instructive guided visit to the Gardens at Lamport Hall for a group from our local Archaeological and Historical Society. Highly recommended!’
